WAYNESBORO - A police chase wove through Waynesboro this weekend as a motorcyclist hit highway speeds on downtown streets.

Paul Edward Reedy Jr., 26, Waynesboro, was charged with felony fleeing or attempting to elude officers, plus several traffic violations including reckless, driving an unregistered vehicle and driving without insurance, according to online court documents.

Waynesboro Police first spotted Reedy around 8:47 p.m. Saturday, in the parking lot of NAPA Auto Parts, 614 S. Potomac St. according to court documents. An officer noticed Reedy's motorcycle didn't have a working rear light, so the officer attempted a traffic stop.

As the officer got closer to Reedy, he allegedly accelerated and illegally passed a vehicle, according to court documents. Police activated their lights and sirens to conduct the traffic stop, but Reedy kept going.

Waynesboro Police wrote in court documents that Reedy continued driving on South Potomac, West Second, and Walnut streets, going between 40 to 50 miles per hour.

Walnut Street is a one-way street that Reedy drove the wrong way down. At times, Reedy drove through stop signs, police said.

Police reported that the chase led them past a vehicle going the correct direction on Walnut Street that had to pull off to the side of the road to prevent a crash.

Reedy was going more than 50 mph on Walnut Street until he turned onto East Sixth Street, again without stopping at the stop sign, according to court documents. Reedy also turned onto Clayton Avenue, again not stopping at the posted sign. He turned right onto East Ninth Street, then to State Hill Road, toward Maryland.

By then, the motorcycle was allegedly going more than 80 mph, so Waynesboro Police backed off, telling dispatchers in Franklin County that Washington County, Md., and Maryland authorities should be notified, according to court documents.

More than two hours later, the officer involved in the initial pursuit spotted a passenger in a vehicle in the 800 block of South Church Street whom he immediately recognized as the operator of the motorcycle.

The man, whom police later identified as Reedy, got out of the vehicle and began walking. Police approached Reedy, and he said he had recently sold his "sport bike" to someone "far away, " according to court documents. Reedy, whom police described as being extremely nervous, told police the man he sold the bike to lives really far away and had driven to Waynesboro to pick up the bike a while ago.

Police let Reedy go, but conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle he had gotten out of, according to court documents. The driver of that vehicle told police that the motorcycle was parked at a residence at Millers Church Road, in the Hagerstown area, according to court documents. Police also took Reedy's helmet from the vehicle.

When authorities arrived at the Millers Church Road residence, the person present took them to the motorcycle. There was no registration displayed, and police found no registration had been issued for the bike.

A warrant was issued for Reedy and he was arraigned by Magisterial District Judge Annie Gomez Shockey on Tuesday, according to court documents. Reedy posted $10,000 bail by bond the same day.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for April 10, according to court documents.
